Top kitchen trends of 2024
As 2024 draws to a close, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the evolving trends in kitchen design, from colour palettes to sustainable living. Whether you’re planning a full kitchen renovation, or just want to take some inspiration from this year’s most popular design choices, understanding the key trends can help you create a kitchen that is both stylish and functional.
Let’s take a look at some of the top kitchen trends that are expected to carry on into 2025 and beyond…
Warm colour palettes
2024 saw a notable shift towards warm and earthy tones to create a cosy and inviting atmosphere. Rich colours like navy blues, olive greens and warmer browns help create an elegant yet relaxed vibe, whilst natural materials such as wood and stone can instantly make a kitchen feel more homely – resulting in the perfect space to unwind at the end of the day.
Smart kitchens
Smart kitchens are revolutionising how we interact with our cooking spaces – from refrigerators that can organise shopping lists and keep track of food expiry dates, to intelligent cooking appliances that monitor the temperature and self-adjust accordingly. Even lighting is becoming more advanced, with an increasing number of kitchens having smart lighting installed, with hidden plug sockets for a sleeker look. Smart kitchens are only going to become more popular and easier to use as technology continues to evolve.
Shaker style
Given their timeless and versatile appeal, it’s no surprise that shaker style kitchens have remained a popular choice in 2024. With their classic and clean finish, this style of kitchen can work in a variety of spaces and colour schemes. Over time, the shaker has adapted in terms of colour and theme, whilst maintaining its understated and functional design. To give your shaker kitchen a modern twist, consider adding sleek, brushed hardware and contemporary light fixtures.
Sustainable kitchens
2024 has seen a more focused spotlight on environmentally conscious purchases, which has influenced kitchen design choices too. Many people are choosing to renovate more sustainably, from using recycled materials to energy-efficient appliances and even used and second-hand kitchens. Each of these eco-friendly choices reduces the carbon emissions from kitchen manufacturing, helping fight the climate crisis one kitchen at a time!
